Hard court superstar James Yap is happy that he his and ex-wife, TV host Kris Aquino, are on better terms now.

At the court hearing to settle the visitation rights and custody over their son Bimby last week, Yap could not help but notice Aquino's vibrant aura.

Yap said he teased Aquino about being in love, to which the TV host responded in the affirmative.

Asked what he will do if he meets his ex-wife's new love, the cager said he will kneel in front of the guy and say thank you as he believes the new inspiration brought ease to Aquino which, in turn, helped smoothen out his relationship with his ex-wife.

Yap said he asked Aquino who her new love is, but he said the TV host declined to reveal his identity.
